Their first fight was razor close in Denmark and even if you don't think Kessler has slipped, there's no way you can think he's gotten better. He's had a couple layoffs and injury issues, and in general that's kind of worked against Kessler to shorten his career IMO, he just looks like an old 32. Also, I don't think it helps that he hasn't fought at a high level since the Froch fight.

IMO Kessler HAS slipped and Froch has gotten a little bit better. I think Kessler's chin sees him through the fight, but winds up on the wrong side of the decision.
